Abstract
During robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), the use of electrocautery near the neurovascular bundles (NVBs) frequently results in thermal injury to the cavernous nerves. The cut and "touch" monopolar cautery technique has been suggested to reduce desiccating thermal injury caused by bipolar energy when vessels are sealed.To compare potency outcomes between an athermal technique (AT) and touch cautery (TC) to transect the prostatic...
